South Bay 521FCR keeps an estimated 59% of its value after 5 years — #4960 of 5915 boats VINdown tracks. See its full depreciation curve, cost per day, and best model year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the South Bay 521FCR retains an estimated 59% of its value after five years, ranking #4960 of 5915 boats we track. That trails the 62% five-year average for Pontoon in its class by 3 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the South Bay 521FCR sheds about 13% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $38,083 it falls to around $22,468 by year five — a five-year loss near $15,615, about $8.56 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 3, a lightly-used South Bay 521FCR bought at 3 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
